Just sprang for a classic 6239 Daytona from Spinmaster!

Decided to do a little christmas shopping for myself:

Had the 116520's for ages & always wanted a classic 6239. I always thought the more widely known Newman Daytonas were too loud/busy looking for my taste; been in a conversation with Spinmaster for a while now and finally fell in love with one & took the plunge. The above pics are just a sneak preview of what he's going to assemble for me (it will be the proper band, DW case & hands, upgraded movement, etc.). Decided not to go for the gen crown & crystal as they really don't mean that much to me, being that I genuinely like it exactly as is, to be completely honest.

Anyway, I know it's been a year (or two) *cough* since I've actually done a proper pictorial, but as soon as I receive the piece I'll give it a thorough review, heavy on the pics as usual.

Enjoy!

Excellent choice.... lucky you. This was one of the few good remaining DW dials in Spin's inventory. Future new orders are going to be hot or miss with DW winding down his rep interest.

Good move and merry christmas to yourself! Awaiting delivery from Spin as well, he sure seems like an excellent guy. Make sure to later post wristshots
